I think before I write this post about my writing play list,
I have to make a confession. I am a huge dork. I barely know the names of any
bands and have spent my adult life as a professional musical theatre performer.
I know a lot about Broadway and nothing about concerts. So, my writing playlist
is a little strange. On most writing days, my playlist is the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack on
repeat. I love the sense of urgency and adventure it gives me. And since only
one of the songs has words, I don’t accidentally transcribe the lyrics into
whatever I’m writing.
If I’m feeling a little dangerous, I go for John Williams
and the Boston Pops. When I need variety, I have the Prague Philharmonic movie
music station on my Pandora. And on days when I’m writing something really fast
paced (fighting, death, things like that) I have Celtic rock Pandora. There are
lyrics in those songs, but since I can’t understand a word of it, I don’t find
it distracting while I work.
Now that you know my dorkiness in full, I hope you will
enjoy what movie soundtracks helped me to create.
All sixteen-year-old Jacob Evans wants is to win the heart
of Emilia Gray, but with order in the magical world crumbling, war threatening,
and Emilia’s boyfriend living across the hall, he may never have the chance.
Jacob Evans loses everything he has ever known and is tossed
into a world of magic. The Dragons, a group of rebel wizards, are threatening
to expose the existence of magic to humans. Jacob is determined to find a way
to fit into Emilia’s family, but as his powers grow, so does the danger. With
the death toll mounting, Jacob is accused of acts of rebel terrorism and must
fight to stay in a world he’s only just beginning to discover.
When Emilia’s life is threatened, Jacob must risk everything
to save her. Does he have the power to rescue her in time? And what could their
survival cost?
